Tirreno - Adriatico
Stage 2 : Volterra - Marian di Carrara
The breakaway
Sanchez Gil attacks as first and gets a small gap,also Di Luca tries his luck
now Klöden is attacking, he takes Di Luca´s backwheel.
6 km to go this is the leading group after the last hill.
3 km to go Klöden is in a good position for a sprint but Di Luca or Kirchen will be the favorites.Samuel Sanchez Gonzales is there ,too.
this is the sprint ,Kirchen is on front.
Kirchen is the winner today but who will be second and third.It´s very close between Klöden and Samuel Sanchez Gonzalez
great sprint by Andreas Klöden he takes the second place.Poor sprint by Di Luca,I thought that he will be on the podium.

1 Kim Kirchen Team Columbia - High Road 4h09'06

Kopp and Vaitkus are in great positions.Gusev is in front.
Gusev is still in front but Kopp and Vaitkus come closer and closer.
Vaitkus comes out of the slipstream and he attacks Gusev
this will be a very close photofinish between Gusev and Vaitkus.

Tirreno - Adriatico
Stage 3 : Fucecchio - Santa Croce sull´Arno
The breakaway
Ventoso takes the backwheel of Freire, this seems to be the best decision.
Ventoso left the slipstream and tries to pass Freire.
But Freire has a lot of power left.He leaves Ventoso behind.
It´s the stage win for Freire ,it seems to be that no one can beat Freire at the moment . Maybe Cavendish but he isn´t there
This is the sprint for the last placement on the podium.Bennati is the lucky one,he beats Petacchi.
Stage results:
1 Oscar Freire Rabobank 4h14'12
2 Francisco Ventoso Astana Cycling Team s.t.
3 Daniele Bennati Liquigas s.t.
4 Alessandro Petacchi LPR Brakes s.t.
5 Kim Kirchen Team Columbia - High Road s.t.
6 Filippo Pozzato Team Katjusha s.t.
7 Luca Paolini Acqua & Sapone - Caffe Mokambo s.t.
8 Damiano Cunego Lampre - NGC s.t.
9 Maarten Tjallingii Rabobank s.t.
10 Marcus Burghardt Team Columbia - High Road s.t.
Overall:
1 Kim Kirchen Team Columbia - High Road 11h53'01
2 Andreas Klöden Astana Cycling Team + 4

Ok You have a great chance of winning Tirreno with Klöden, make sure you ride a perfect tt with him.
I don't know how you managed to beat Sanchez and Di Luca with Klöden in a sprint. Very good form? |
